I don't understand why there is an error ?

Why is it showing me this error: "$colors does not exist" ?

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment

$colors = array(
    "red","blue","green"
);

echo $colors[1];

$favourite_colors = array(
  "mike"=>"green","jane"=>"blue","chris"=>"red"
 );

?>

Not sure of the error message but the cause is the spelling of favorite in $favorite_colors
